Chapter Summaries

The Origin Realm completed its fusion, restoring the Star Abyss but freeing the True Saints to move. As several True Saints headed for the Phoenix Nest, Lu Ye and his allies prepared to flee with the Phoenix Nest and the Primordial Parasol Tree.

• The Star Abyss trembled as the Origin Realm fused completely, and Lu Ye learned the news from Yang Zhao.
• Yang Zhao reported that several unknown powerful figures had emerged from the Origin Realm's center and were heading toward the Phoenix Nest.
• Lu Ye told Si Shengya and Xing Zhou that the True Saints had arrived, and Xing Zhou asked what they should do.
• Lu Ye led the others back to the Phoenix Nest, where he called on Old Tree to begin their escape plan.
• Old Tree agreed to cooperate with Lu Ye in taking the Phoenix Nest and the Primordial Parasol Tree with them.

Lu Ye and the Phoenix Race compressed the space containing the Primordial Parasol Tree and moved it into his Inner Realm while Yang Qing approached. After the Tower of Time helped Lu Ye escape to the Hehe Realm, Saint Qi broke into that refuge, leaving it no longer safe.

• Lu Ye and the Phoenix Race compressed the space around the Primordial Parasol Tree until it could fit through the gateway to his Inner Realm.
• Yang Qing arrived before Lu Ye could escape and unleashed Dragon Might that left Lu Ye dazed as he prepared to attack.
• The Tower of Time activated at Lu Ye's call, briefly stopping Yang Qing and allowing Lu Ye to flee to the Hehe Realm with the Primordial Parasol Tree.
• Lu Ye emerged in the Initial Main Hall and realized the Tower of Time had saved him from Yang Qing's strike.
• The Hehe Realm began shaking, and Saint Qi forced open a spatial rift into it, showing that Abyss could pursue Lu Ye even there.

Lu Ye escaped the Hehe Realm after Saint Qi breached it and sought refuge in a One Origin Starry Sky with the Ghost Sedan. As True Saints hunted him, the Ghost Sedan located a nearby starry sky without a Star Abyss Gate.

• Saint Qi tore open a spatial rift into the Hehe Realm, and Lu Ye fled to Yuan Xi City.
• Lu Ye warned You Die to evacuate Yuan Xi City, then sped away as she drove the city in the opposite direction.
• Lu Ye summoned the Ghost Sedan and asked it to take him to a One Origin Starry Sky without a Star Abyss Gate.
• Saint Wu lost Lu Ye’s trail when the Ghost Sedan teleported, while another True Saint headed toward its new location.
• The Ghost Sedan searched for a nearby One Origin Starry Sky and finally found it.

Lu Ye entered an untainted starry sky with the Ghost Sedan and encountered the Spirit Origin Race after its cultivators attacked him. He left them unharmed and settled on a nearby star, putting the restless Ghost Sedan away in his Inner Realm.

• Lu Ye and the Ghost Sedan crossed into a starry sky without Star Abyss aura, where a flaw might eventually widen into a Star Abyss Gate.
• A dozen Spirit Origin Race cultivators attacked Lu Ye, but he stood unharmed and took the leading woman's bow before she could react.
• The woman identified herself as Bì Luò, Patriarch of the Spirit Origin Race, and explained that the bow was her clan's sole Sacred Object.
• Lu Ye asked about similar bows, returned Bì Luò's weapon, and disappeared with the Ghost Sedan.
• Lu Ye appeared on a nearby young star, settled down, and returned the Ghost Sedan to his Inner Realm at its request.

Lu Ye learned that the Spirit Origin Race was about to be attacked by an allied force seeking to harvest the spirit origins in their bodies. As the battle began, Lu Ye appeared before Bì Luò and seized her Sacred Object, the small bow.

• Lu Ye and Liao Saber discussed the crowds gathering near the Spirit Origin World, while Lu Ye learned why the Spirit Origin Race was being targeted.
• Lu Ye realized the Spirit Origin Race's former protector had died and that the gathered forces would soon attack their realm.
• The Allied Army began its assault, then launched a full invasion after its leaders concluded the old protector was dead.
• Bì Luò and the Spirit Origin Race resisted the invaders, declaring they would never become slaves.
• Lu Ye suddenly appeared before Bì Luò and took the small bow from her hands.

Fang saved the Spirit Origin Race from an invading army and discovered another member of the Weapon Race in their Sacred Object. He asked Lu Ye to take Bì Luò and her entire race into the Inner Realm, leaving Lu Ye to consider the risks of bringing them along.

• Fang appeared between the Spirit Origin Race and its attackers, and Bì Luò promised him the Sacred Object if he saved her people.
• Fang summoned his saber and destroyed more than a thousand enemy warships with a single distant slash, forcing the invaders to flee.
• Bì Luò recognized that Fang’s saber belonged to the same Weapon Race as her Sacred Object, and she honored her agreement with him.
• Fang returned to Lu Ye with Bì Luò and explained that he needed to take her weapon master along if he wanted to take her with him.
• Fang asked Lu Ye to bring the entire Spirit Origin Race into the Inner Realm because Bì Luò’s departure would leave her people unprotected.
• Lu Ye warned that following him might be dangerous because he could be killed by a True Saint.

Lu Ye evacuated the Spirit Origin Race into his Inner Realm as Saint Qi forced open a breach in their starry sky. Just as Lu Ye prepared to face Saint Qi with the Ghost Sedan, he discovered that Zhu Pang had left an imprint in the Uniting Dao Pearl.

• Lu Ye agreed to take in the Spirit Origin Race after the starry sky began trembling and he realized a True Saint was widening its flaw.
• Bì Luò gathered the Spirit Origin Race, and Lu Ye opened gateways so all thirty million members could migrate into his Inner Realm.
• After the migration, Lu Ye identified Saint Qi as the True Saint forcing open the breach and prepared to confront him using the Ghost Sedan.
• Lu Ye sensed a change in the Inner Realm and found Zhu Pang beside the Uniting Dao Pearl, where Zhu Pang admitted he had left an imprint.

Lu Ye discovered that Half-Saints who left imprints on his Uniting Dao Pearl strengthened the foundation of his Inner Realm, giving him a way to rapidly increase his power. The imprints reached their limit after twenty-seven Half-Saints, and Lu Ye realized that his three fused Core Fragments had expanded the pearl’s capacity.

• Zhu Pang left an imprint on Lu Ye’s Uniting Dao Pearl, prompting Lu Ye to summon Yang Lie and test the effect.
• Yang Lie’s imprint raised Lu Ye’s Inner Realm foundation by about a hundred strands of power, and Lu Ye concluded that each Half-Saint’s imprint could strengthen him.
• Dragon Sovereign, Si Shengya, and the other Half-Saints left imprints, increasing Lu Ye’s power by nearly three thousand strands as he kept Blood Calamity away from the Uniting Dao Pearl.
• Qin Feng found that he could not leave an imprint, and Lu Ye realized the Uniting Dao Pearl had reached its limit of nine additional imprints for each Core Fragment fused into it.

Lu Ye expanded his Uniting Dao Pearl’s imprint capacity and gained enough borrowed power to contend with True Saints. After emerging, he was grievously wounded by a group of them and fled, learning from the Tower Spirit that Yang Qing must be dealt with first and that the Tower Spirit was Yang Qing’s former treasure.

• Lu Ye fused more Core Fragments into his Uniting Dao Pearl, allowing it to hold eighty-one imprints and borrow more than eight thousand Dao powers from the Half-Saints.
• Lu Ye left the Ghost Sedan in his Inner Realm and struck Saint Qi as he emerged from the collapsing starry sky.
• Five or six True Saints ambushed Lu Ye, grievously wounding him, and he confirmed that his enhanced strength could withstand their attacks.
• Lu Ye used the Blood Escape Art to flee while the True Saints pursued him, and the Tower Spirit urged him to separate them and deal with Yang Qing first.
• The Tower Spirit explained that only a True Saint could kill another True Saint, then revealed that Yang Qing was its master.
• Lu Ye turned to meet Saint Qi’s incoming attack as Yang Qing rapidly closed in behind her.

Lu Ye used a diversion to separate Saint Qi from Yang Qing, then summoned the River of Time and Sequence with the Tower of Time to pull himself and Yang Qing inside. Badly wounded, he reached an Anchor Point in the river and paused there to recover.

• Lu Ye sent out his Talent Tree Clone as a feint, but Yang Qing, Saint Qi, and the other True Saints ignored it and continued pursuing him.
• After hours of flight, Lu Ye vanished with the clone's help, drawing Saint Qi after him while Yang Qing continued in another direction.
• Lu Ye used an ordinary controlled artifact bearing his aura as a marker to teleport back, then rushed toward the returning Yang Qing before Saint Qi and the other True Saints could catch up.
• Lu Ye activated the Tower of Time and called on the Tower Spirit, summoning Peli and the River of Time and Sequence to sweep him and Yang Qing away.
• Grievously wounded, Lu Ye struggled through the river and climbed onto an Anchor Point, where he finally had a chance to catch his breath.

Lu Ye lured the corrupted Yang Qing through the River of Time and Sequence while the Tower Spirit activated an Anchor Point to summon another Yang Qing. The summoned Yang Qing entered Saint Yi’s body, and Lu Ye began using the Talent Tree to burn away the corruption within him.

• Lu Ye recovered from his injuries and found Yang Qing, who attacked him on sight.
• The Tower Spirit explained that Yang Qing could still draw on the universe’s origin and directed Lu Ye to lead him toward a hidden Anchor Point.
• As Yang Qing overwhelmed Lu Ye, the Tower Spirit activated the Anchor Point and summoned a second Yang Qing.
• The summoned Yang Qing entered Saint Yi’s body, causing him to turn away from Lu Ye and call the Tower of Time to his hand.
• Yang Qing asked Lu Ye to invoke the Dao Tree’s power, and Lu Ye used the Talent Tree to burn away the corruption within him.

Lu Ye watched Yang Qing reclaim his body by reversing it to the moment he became a Saint, though the process weakened him. After Yang Qing promised they would have other helpers, Lu Ye returned from the River of Time and Sequence and joined him in ambushing Saint Qi.

• Yang Qing submerged himself in the River of Time and Sequence while Lu Ye waited and informed the Half-Saints that there was hope of resolving the crisis.
• Yang Qing emerged with control of his body restored, explaining that he had reversed it to match the divine sense he left behind when he became a Saint.
• Lu Ye realized Yang Qing's strength had fallen to the level he possessed when he first became a Saint, but Yang Qing said they would have other helpers.
• The True Saints pursued Lu Ye when he emerged from the River of Time and Sequence, and Saint Qi reached him first by traversing space.
• Lu Ye summoned Yang Qing, who struck Saint Qi and left her vulnerable to Lu Ye's saber, which cut through her protective Dao Power.

Lu Ye and Yang Qing killed Saint Qi before her reinforcements arrived, then escaped into the River of Time and Sequence with her remains. They watched a flame of nirvana emerge from her body, but Lu Ye worried that her recovery would take too long for her to help them.

• Abyss noticed Yang Qing had broken free of its control, leaving him unable to draw on scattered Dao Power, and he joined Lu Ye in attacking Saint Qi.
• Lu Ye used the Weaving Heaven Needle and three saber strikes to wound Saint Qi, while Yang Qing restrained her with the Tower of Time and helped finish her off.
• Yang Qing summoned the River of Time and Sequence and carried Lu Ye and Saint Qi's remains away just before another True Saint arrived.
• Yang Qing explained that Saint Qi could escape Abyss's enslavement through the Phoenix Race's nirvana, and a gentle red flame emerged from her remains.
• Lu Ye pointed out that Saint Qi's strength would greatly decline after nirvana and asked how long she would need to recover.

After Huang Qiying was reborn through nirvana, Yang Qing explained the plan to oppose Abyss and sent Lu Ye to Qianliu City to obtain the last Core Fragment. Lu Ye hoped gathering all ten fragments would let the Uniting Dao Pearl resist Abyss's suppression, but he sensed something wrong as he neared the city.

• Yang Qing told Lu Ye that the Phoenix Race could use a secret technique to regain peak strength after nirvana, though it caused a long period of weakness.
• Yang Qing revealed that his ancestor had created nine Dao Tree Inheritances and that his Clone had destroyed itself to avoid alerting Abyss.
• After a month, Huang Qiying's Phoenix Egg cracked, and she emerged from nirvana and greeted Yang Qing and Lu Ye.
• Yang Qing shared the situation with Huang Qiying, and she learned that Lu Ye's Dao Tree inheritance had enabled them to recover their intelligence and challenge Abyss.
• Yang Qing sent Lu Ye to Qianliu City to claim its Core Fragment and strengthen the Uniting Dao Pearl.
• As Lu Ye approached Qianliu City, he noticed that something about the city seemed abnormal.

Lu Ye found that Abyss had taken Qianliu City's Uniting Dao Pearl, so he abandoned his plan to gather its final Core Fragment and instead lured four True Saints away from Abyss Island. He returned with Yang Qing and the Seventh Generation Master to confront the three True Saints left behind, and the battle began with Lu Ye facing Saint Jiu.

• Lu Ye arrived at Qianliu City and learned that a masked True Saint had taken its Uniting Dao Pearl half a month earlier.
• Lu Ye waited on a Barren Star, then fled when four True Saints approached together.
• Lu Ye used the Ghost Sedan to reach the Origin Realm near Abyss Island after drawing the four pursuers far away.
• Lu Ye brought Yang Qing and the Seventh Generation Master through a portal to confront Saint Jiu, Saint Lu, and Saint San.
• Lu Ye fought Saint Jiu with the Liao Saber while Yang Qing battled Saint Lu and the Seventh Generation Master faced Saint San.

Lu Ye joined forces with Jinyao to kill Fuguang, whose strength Abyss had unnaturally enhanced, while the Seventh Generation Master burned away his remaining vitality. Saint Lu fled, leaving Saint San trapped against Lu Ye, Yang Qing, and the Seventh Generation Master.

• Abyss strengthened Fuguang during his duel with Lu Ye, making it harder for Lu Ye to turn his advantage into a victory.
• Lu Ye let Jinyao control his body, allowing her knowledge of Fuguang's techniques to overwhelm him.
• Jinyao wounded Fuguang with successive saber strikes, and the Seventh Generation Master used True Phoenix Fire to destroy his body and vitality.
• Saint Lu escaped while Yang Qing and the Seventh Generation Master held Saint San back, and Lu Ye joined them.
• Saint Lu fled farther away as Saint San faced Lu Ye, Yang Qing, and the Seventh Generation Master alone.

Lu Ye and his allies killed Saint San by combining the powers of time and space, but they had to flee before they could attack Abyss Island. After Yang Qing and the Seventh Generation Master withdrew to recover, Lu Ye sensed two Cosmic Origins and chose not to refine one, leaving open the possibility of someone else claiming them.

• Lu Ye, Yang Qing, and the Seventh Generation Master combined the powers of time and space, freeing Saint San from Abyss's control and then killing him.
• As Saint Lu returned with four other True Saints, the Seventh Generation Master's secret technique backlash took hold, so Lu Ye summoned the Ghost Sedan and escaped with her and Yang Qing.
• The Seventh Generation Master transformed into a Phoenix Egg and entered dormancy, while Yang Qing told Lu Ye to enter the Inner Realm and warned him not to refine a Cosmic Origin.
• Lu Ye sensed that Saint Jiu and Saint San had left behind two Cosmic Origins and considered the strength he could gain by refining one.
• Lu Ye remembered the ancestors' warning, suppressed his urge to refine a Cosmic Origin, and considered that someone else might refine one instead.

Lu Ye arranged for Si Shengya and Xing Zhou to refine cosmic origins and become True Saints, expecting Abyss to send some of its forces to stop them. When all five Abyss True Saints departed, Lu Ye rushed to Abyss Island, but his unease proved justified when a seemingly invulnerable tentacle attacked him from the crater at its center.

• Lu Ye revealed the cosmic origins to Si Shengya and Xing Zhou, confirmed that both could become True Saints, and sent them back into his Inner Realm.
• More than ten days later, Si Shengya and Xing Zhou began refining the origins at a location Lu Ye had chosen to draw out Abyss's True Saints.
• Lu Ye sensed all five remaining Abyss True Saints approaching, so he recalled Si Shengya and Xing Zhou and used the Ghost Sedan to reach Abyss Island.
• Lu Ye found Abyss Island undefended and sensed the final Core Fragment of the Uniting Dao Pearl beneath its central crater.
• Lu Ye retreated when an enormous dark tentacle emerged from the crater and ignored his saber strike.

Thirty years after retreating from Abyss Island, Lu Ye had evaded Abyss’s five True Saints while gathering strength and waiting for his allies to recover. With his forces ready, he began the final battle by stepping through a forming Star Abyss Gate.

• Abyss’s chained tentacle struck at Lu Ye and unleashed fury across the Origin Realm, driving countless beings—including Half-Saints—to slaughter one another.
• A month later, Si Shengya and Xing Zhou successfully ascended to True Sainthood at a distant location while Lu Ye and Yang Qing guarded them.
• For thirty years, Lu Ye evaded Abyss’s five True Saints as Star Abyss grew more unstable, and he refined Supreme Treasures until Fang reached Grade Twenty.
• Lu Ye accelerated time within his Inner Realm, allowing the Seventh Generation Master to finish Nirvana and recover, Si Shengya and Xing Zhou to consolidate their strength, and the Spirit Origin Race to flourish.
• With his allies ready, Lu Ye asked if they were prepared, Yang Qing declared the battle begun, and Lu Ye crossed into a forming Star Abyss Gate.

After thirty years of evading the Abyss’s pursuit, Lu Ye confronted five True Saints and revealed the fully grown Dao Tree, using its Supreme Treasures to scatter them. He trapped Eight Saints with hidden binding threads and wounded him, leaving Lu Ye poised to press his advantage as battles raged across five fronts.

• Lu Ye emerged from the starry sky with five True Saints pursuing him and summoned Yang Qing, the Seventh Generation Master, Si Shengya, and Xing Zhou from the Inner Realm.
• Lu Ye revealed the Dao Tree, whose branches held more than a hundred Supreme Treasure fruits, and unleashed their powers to disrupt the Five Saints’ formation.
• After the Dao Tree’s strain forced Lu Ye to dismiss it, he and his allies split off to fight the Five Saints in separate battles.
• Lu Ye fought Eight Saints, using attacks from the Supreme Treasure fruits to suppress him while secretly laying concealed spider threads through the Void.
• Lu Ye activated the binding threads to entangle Eight Saints, then struck him with the Liao Saber and drew blood.
